RealHomePage

Wiki UserPages are lightweight, and designed to simply put a face behind a signature. A RealHomePage, on the other hand, is a page that the user controls, usually on private or leased private webspace.

Wiki pages are inherently collaborative. Many people contribute, change and tweak things. Home pages are inherently a solo effort. Both have appropriate applications.

A good example of a wiki page that desires collaboration is a MartialArts style which receives several refinements over its lifetime, when WikiGnomes naturally update it for new rules, and other people see new ways in which to enhance the page.

A good example of a RealHomePage is a WebLog. A WebLog is a journal for one person, and while it may support comments from others, does not accept (nor would it be appropriate for it to accept) content from strangers.
